Bob

There are many ways to answer that question but, I think the right  
one is directly related to what happens when it all goes pear-shaped.

In the first instance, someone or something has been affected by the  
failure of the product.

Now the lawyers are on your case: "What procedure did you use to  
manufacture and test the product?"

Your own? Right, then you carry the costs.

Or, you could rely on a suitable standard. IPC? Well, no offense to  
IPC, but it is a trade association, so what are the endorsements of  
the documents you relied upon?

Linked to ANSI - American National Standards Institute? Ah! Now  
things look a little brighter for you.

Linked in turn to International Standards IEC or ISO, even better.

It doesn't exonerate you completely, but it sure helps in damage  
limitation!

Gross oversimplification but I hope this helps.

Kindest regards
Graham Naisbitt
